Forget the numerators, focus on the denominators for now. 3 an 4 are both multiples of 12, so we can multiply \frac{2}{3} by 4 and \frac{3}{4} by 3 to make all the fractions out of 12. This should make it easier to understand which one is the smallest / biggest. 

\frac{2}{3} × 4 = <span>\frac{8}{12} 
</span>
\frac{3}{4} × 3 = <span>\frac{9}{12} 
</span>
You leave <span>\frac{7}{12} as it is because it's already out of 12.

Now you can see that obviously, </span>\frac{3}{4} is the largest fraction, as 9 is the biggest when it's out of 12. \frac{2}{3} is the second largest as it's 8 out of 12, which is smaller than 9 but bigger than 7. Obviously, the last is one is <span>\frac{7}{12}.

So the order is:

</span>\frac{3}{4}, \frac{2}{3}, <span>\frac{7}{12}.</span>

For this question you should know that:
2/3 = 8/12 
and 
3/4 = 9/12 
so now you can say:
7/12 < 8/12 < 9/12 
so: 
7/12 < 2/3 < 3/4 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

A candle is 7in tall after burning for 1 h. The same candle is 5 1/2 in y’all after burning for 4 h. How tall will the candle be
viva [34]

Answer:

4.5 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A candle is 7 inch tall after burning for 1 hour.

           Same candle is 5.5 inch tall after burning for 4 hours.

     

Lets assume time to burn candle be "x" and height of candle be "y".

Now, finding the rate of changes in height of candle per hour.

Let "m" represent the changes in height of candle per hour.

we know, m= \frac{Changes\ in\ length}{Changes\ in\ time}

∴ m= \frac{5.5-7}{4-1} = \frac{-1.5}{3}

m= -0.5

Next, forming an equation to know the original height of candle.

using equation; y= mx+ original\ height

We know, A candle is 7 inch tall after burning for 1 hour.

⇒ 7= -0.5\times 1+ original\ height

⇒  7= -0.5+ original\ height

Adding both side by 0.5

⇒Original\ height= 7.5\ inches

Hence, the original height of candle was 7.5 inches.

Again using the same equation to find the height of candle after burning for 6 hour.

y= -0.5\times 6+ 7.5

⇒ y= -3+7.5

∴ y= 4.5 inches.

Hence, The candle will be 4.5 inches tall after burning for 6 hour.

Pamela's age is three times Jiri's age. The sum of their ages is 20 . What is Jiri's age?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Jiří is 5 years old.

Step by step:

Let x denote Jiří's age in years. Then Pamela's age is 3x. Their sum is x + 3x = 20. So we solve for x:

x + 3x = 20

4x = 20

x = 5

Jiří's age is 5 years

How can you use the Zero Product Property to solve quadratic<br> equations in factored form?
aniked [119]

Answer:

The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0. When the product of factors equals zero, one or more of the factors must also equal zero. Once the polynomial is factored, set each factor equal to zero and solve them separately.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope that helps!
